I bought a new SSD and cloned my old HDD to the new SSD, I didn't change anything else in my laptop, everything works fine in Windows but Bioera now is asking for Unlock Code, what should I do to make my license work?

You don't think that's an issue that needs to be fixed? none of my other licensed software failed to work after upgrading the Hard disk, as long as it's the same machine the license should work

Can't you make it something like the way windows identifies a machine? I can replace a disk and reinstall windows and use the same license as long as the machine is the same

A machine should be identified by core components like Motherboard, CPU, Graphics Card, Ethernet ...etc but HDD and Ram are replaceable, you shouldn't lose your license if you upgraded your HDD or Upgraded Windows, that's not reasonable and I don't know of any other software that has the same restrictions

The whole reason I bought a new SSD was to make Bioera run faster as it was slow on items that read from the disk

Can you please help resolve this issue in the next update?

Unfortunately I am not able to improve it. The library used for unlocking does not give me info about what kind of hardware changes have been made. This has been like that since the beginning of BioEra. And this (and others) limitation is clearly stated.

BioEra should run at the same speed whether from SSD or normal hard drive. The startup time can be different, but after that everything is executing in memory, so there should be no difference. If your design is loading files at runtime, you could put them on another faster drive.
